Nursing Home Communities in Everett, WA

"The people at Bethany at Pacific are good. My loved one is there right now. They do their best, but they are short-staffed too often. I think the cost is way over charged but then I think that about most health care things. The staff is very competent. They do an excellent job. They try to get as much cooperation out of the person as they can get. They're also concerned about the patient's wants. Sometimes the patients are too moody to do anything, but they'll come back later."

"My first impression of the facility when i walked in was very clean and very organized. The people who worked at the front desk were very polite and welcoming. they answered all of our questions and made us feel right at home. They took us on a brief tour around the property.The Rooms were quaint but were nothing to get excited over. The family member who live there says that she enjoys the group activities that the staff has planned on a regular basis. The Nurses Treat each and every person like they are their own family member, and takes care of them to the best of their ability. Over all if i had to live there i wouldn't be disappointed. The other residents who live there seem to be happy with the living conditions. The rooms feel quite cozy and are well ventilated. The scent of the facility was pleasant and not the usual old people smell that you would expect. The Rates per month are about the same everywhere else. "

"AKA Careless Manner... Our dad was transferred the Manorcare AKA Careless Manner on high recommendations. It was our first family experience of touring and then admitting a family member to a SNF...so you be the judge: took over 2 hours upon arrival for my dad to get any personal attention. no formal care plan 100% NPO not observed! OMG 3 times while we were in dad's room Na's came in with ENSURE and Water for my dad! My dad, confused from stroke, could have seriously drowned, had he accepted it...esp. If had we NOT been there to observe. feeding peg tube was not flushed after use, pretty basic... failed to change simple 4x4 bandage at feeding peg tube, even after the initial change was so smelly, as they left in on without changing for over a day and a half. (Hospital recommended 2x daily) next day, RN was asked by family 5 times in 6 hours to change bandage as the smell was getting bad again--she never did by the time we left ...then we were informed in middle of night peg tube area was infected and they sent him to ER. 2nd day I arrived at 9am and my dad was not not checked by a Na or Lpn/RN until 4pm--this was a norm...My dad was incontinent at that time, so we had to change his overly wet briefs... not attentive to his specific needs. during a training session with new Na's one girl wouldn't even come close enough to bed while they turned my dad on his side...what a safety issue! saftey issues: I found my dad's bed high off ground and my dad was falling out of bed, I caught him before he fell. (He was high risk of moving, so bed was always to be left at floor level.) failed to keep dad at recommended 30% grade for breathing and preventation of choking. nursing supplies were just thrown into room everywhere, some on the floor, no order. As there appears to be no set care plans and order to patient care, hence, "Careless Manner," we as a family had to station several of us there in shifts from 9am to 9pm when we could. We kept notes of care given and needed amongst ourselves so the next family member knew what to request... After they sent him to ER, my dad spent a week in the hospital . He is now being cared for at a professional SNF. ;) There definitely is a management problem at this location. PS: Manorcare was fully aware of my dad's condition, and his special needs. They visited him in the hospital prior to admitting, AND they had his hospital records for review and approval... "

"Amazing!!!! My loved one didn't want to go anywhere else! "

"My husband is spending time in Mountain View Rehabilitation for physical therapy and occupational therapy. So, they're trying to strengthen him up so that he can regain the use of his left leg and foot, which were affected by a recent stroke. He's making good progress. He's getting stronger every day but it truly is dependent on the attitude of the patient as to how well this type of physical therapy works, and he's been improving. I go there every day to see him. At first, he's been lying in bed in between his therapy visits and now he's up sitting in his wheelchair, which is a good sign for him. It's not only been a physical battle but it's been a mental battle for him. The physical therapy is really good. They're very kind, very gentle, but they're very strong. They try and encourage the patient to continue if they're struggling mentally, encourage them that they're doing a great job, and I know they've spent extra time with my husband in trying to get him to the point where he can come home one day. So, that's where our goal is with him, trying to get him to come back where he can take care of himself. They're working on his grooming and they're working on him being able to utilize the shower and things like that on his own. He has really improved dramatically at the place. You can tell that everyone there is gifted to do this kind of work with people. They have compassion. They've been really great with my husband and I. My husband shares a room so I know the interaction between both patients has been very professional and very good. When they bring in their food, they don't just put it on the table and walk off. They actually make sure the patient is able to cut the food up and eat it by themselves. So, they have a heart of servants. I have not seen one staff member in that place that doesn't have that attitude. They realize that this is somebody's grandmother or grandfather or maybe their parents. They give them really good care. They make sure they have everything that they need. If I have a concern, they address it immediately (these are the CNAs and the housekeeping people). They're all about the patient and making sure they walk in with a smile and they greet them very sweetly in the morning, like "Good morning! How are you?" They supply newspapers for them and things like that. The staff has been great. I have not tried the food, but I've been tempted. It smells good and looks good, and my husband is a pretty picky eater. It's hot when they get it. They have homemade rolls and I think that they do a really good job on the food. My husband pretty much eats it all. Like he's starving at every meal. Also, every morning they get a piece of paper showing what they're going to get for their three meals. If they want to order something off of a separate list, they have the ability to order a hamburger or grilled cheese or whatever from a whole list of items if they don't want what's being served. They have a wide variety of activities for the residents. When my husband got there, they went over a list with him and checked it off to make sure he gets a schedule where he can go in there every week."

"My Mom stayed her for 3 months due to a broken femur. She started in a double room then moved to a private room. The staff there are very caring and attentive. Her bed was comfortable and they kept is low as she was a fall risk. The activities director is wonderful and got my mom to attend some activities during her stay. They have bingo, trips, movies, etc. The food is ok, breakfast is one of the best meals. You can select your menu every week. They have other options to take if you do not like what is offered. She had stayed at another facility in the area prior. This one was much better for my mom's condition (dementia) and they had better ways of getting her to try PT and OT. "

"My wife is in Marysville Care Center. The facilities were a little bit older and worn, but the personnel and staff were all super accommodating. My wife needed a larger bed, and they accommodated her without trouble. I wound up bringing meals to my wife several times because the food was institutional. Overall, their facility is super functional, and I'm glad to have my wife there."

"This is probably the nicest building I’ve seen for nursing homes. It doesn’t smell, and the staff for the most part seem to care. Considering the crazy time we are all living in, I feel they are doing the best they can"

"I recently was able to visit Aldercrest again and I have to say I am overjoyed with the good changes I see!! The last time I visited the top person there was very rude to me because I asked a question. I see he is no longer there. The place is so clean now, before it looked and felt dirty. The staff is happy and very helpful and were so polite. My friend was painting a craft when I arrived and they have a cute garden area. This place deserves 10 stars for the improvements its made!!!!!!! so glad to see this company cares about taking care of people the right way!!!!!"

"My loved one recovered at Regency's rehab after a stroke and fractures, and then had a short/extended stay in "Long Term Care" before recovering enough to go home! The staff was compassionate, the Therapy Department was so amazing, and there are countless kind staff members who took the time to get to know and anticipate my mom's needs. From Admission to discharge, we had helpful staff along the whole journey. The facility is really clean and actually smells nice (which is VERY rare for a nursing home!!), there are great housekeeping services, large rooms, and nurses/aids are super responsive to call lights. We appreciate all they did to help our mom recover safely and properly."

"My mother's room was spacious with private bath and kitchenette. There was a community TV viewing area where up to a dozen residents could watch TV together and enjoy each other's company. There were on-grounds library, art classes, exercise classes, beauty salon, and chapel. The staff were always friendly and courteous and very caring of my mother."

"We visited Anderson House. They were very welcoming. The rooms were very clean and well equipped. There were the typical activities of an adult facility, like bus trips for shopping and going places. The food was wonderful. "

"Richmond Beach is a really nice place. It's a perfect nursing home. It's beautiful and they have everything. That's where I would probably put my mother if she did want to go there. "

"This facility has continually shown to be a caring and compassionate place for my loved ones. I really appreciate the staff's commitment to giving the residences a meaningful time there, and caring for them, no matter their condition. The facility is not the fanciest, or the newest for that matter, but I always love to see my grandmother smile there. She was frightened for her entire adult life of nursing facilities, and this place is the only one that I have found to give here the care and love she deserves to have. The managers have befriended our family, and we really love that she has been so well cared for there. The only complaints I have are of one staff member, who is somewhat unfriendly to our family, but she has been reprimanded, and we are glad to be able to have such a great place as part of the community.
